Polling needs a bio with a valid bi_bdev, but neither of those are guaranteed for polled driver requests. Make request based polling directly use blk-mq's polling function instead. When executing a request from a polled hctx, we know the request's cookie, and that it's from a live blk-mq queue that supports polling, so we can safely skip everything that bio_poll provides.
